Whoa at the Silver Key of Portals.
The only situation I can conceive of where it's not the Universal Key but better is if you went by a strict interpretation of "Opens any mundane or magical lock" and decided that the Universal Key was capable of opening a vault of magical goodies sealed by all the power of a god or something.
Given that the DM hasn't mentioned such a vault existing in this setting (because if he had my character would have the search for it as his lifelong quest), I'm going to ask if I can have the Silver Key of Portals. I was already sure I wanted the Universal Key as a backup unless I found anything cooler, but holding off on picking it because it didn't have any of those nice pluses I enjoy so much. So a Universal Key that also lets you escape danger, walk through walls, and turn ethereal for three minutes is just way too good to pass up.
